A Salute To Greece Let's give a hand to the Greek vmm(.rit and the brave people of , the small Balkan state! In the face of an Italian ultima- i 1 i i? Xl turn the ancient innaowaiwa m w Cultured land made their choice andi decided to fight for their liberty. It may be too much to- expect great victories for the Greeks, even with afll the assistance that the British can render, but, just the same, they have faced the initial test with courage that deserves ad miration. A Witness Should Have Protection A very regretable incident occur red in Recorder's Court on Tuesday and it lead The Veekl7 to the belief that a witness called, either by the State or by the defense, to testify in a case at court should be given some protection as to the rules gov erning cross examination by lawyers. The incident involved in this par aicular caserwas nothing less than insulting to one of the young ladies of Hertford called to testify in be half of the State. While it is The Weekly's under standing thaon 'gross examination it is the lawyer's duty to try to dis credit the witness and the testimony it certainly should not be allowed that the lawyer could smear the character of a witness during that questioning. It may be well and good for a lawyer to try to place the facts be fore the court pertaining to the case ... but that does not neces sarily mean that he has to pry into private loves of disinterested wit nesses in trying to gain an acquittal for a two bit client. Under Consideration The County Commissioners on last Monday answered the Grand Jury's report concerning the Negro school in Winfall being a disgrace to 1)he County by passing a resolution stat ing that the Board has had the con dition of this chool under considera tion, and that something would be done about it as soon as the County was financially able to do so. Well, parts of that resolution were news because for the past year the Editor of The Weekly has attended every open meeting the Board of Commissioners has held and he has never heard that school under dis cussion until last Monday. ' The Weekly, like practically every citizen of Perquimans County, is not familiar with the County's condition .... that is a deep, dark secret, for the Commissioners never see fit to publish a statement regarding the County's financial status, and let tinir us know just what shape the County is in . . . But regardless of that, The Week ly whole-heartedly endorses Uie re port of the Grand Jury and it sin cerely hopes; .that , the resolution, passed last Monday,' will be dug1 up out' of the niintites of he 1 County Commissioners, and something will be dene to h'i-' those boys and girls a decent n:ce in which to carry on their education. Resolutions may be fine things to fill certain needs, but they make mighty poor school houses. . Battle of the Balkans " The Battle of the Ealkans is still ' being fought with threats and prom ' Joes thread $0 the small States a and promises to Russia. The Nazi ',' "militarf mission" in Rumania has ' belped" tiie. Third Reich to win two skirmishes, one with Bulgaria and another KdtSiYugoslavia.

It is plain Berlin regards these skirmishes as preliminary,-for Ger man officials are reported supervis- ing emplacements of anti-aircraft t n J m guns in itumania, anu-iunusn new papers speaK 01 increasing Am pressures on Bulgaria and particu larly on Greece. These reports call attention to the possibility of an Italian "mission." along the lines of the Nazi thrust into Rumania for Bulgaria and The strateiric value of Greece to the Axis would be great indeed, providing bases for sea and air ventures against the British fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean. But so pro-iBritish is Greece that an Italian "mission," no matter how "friendly", might have to shoot its way into the country. The pro-British Turks watch close ly. But what they do must depend in a large measure on Moscow. And it is here that the Axis threats turn to promises. It is reported from Is tanbul' that Berlin is offering con trol of the Dardanelles to the Rus sians as payment for a benevolent attitude. It is a striking offer, con sidering the latent rivalry between Germany and Russia over this strip of water. But for that very reason it may cause Moscow to pause. The Soviets may ask how secure their control would be in a Europe dominated from the Baltic to the Black Sea by a Nazi Germany to which no other Power but Russia remained as a counterweight.
